**RARE Golden Age investment opportunity**
This NO RESERVE $1 starting bid auction is for a beautiful GOLDEN AGE KEY IN INVESTMENT GRADE…..The Human Torch #2 ( #1 ) by Timely Comics, 1940. This STUNNING copy has been CGC graded 7.5 VF- UNRESTORED with Off-White pages!!! Found on page 655 of the new Overstreet Price Guide, this HIGH DEMAND, RARE IN GRADE classic is currently ranked as the #20 top Golden Age book!
Bright and glossy with blazing off-white pages, this book really has it all! Book lays perfectly flat, retains much of its original gloss, and has 2 shiny staples firmly holding the cover on. The PQ is amazing…..newsstand fresh, supple, bone white, great smelling interior pages with vibrant artwork colors. There are no marks, date stamps ( not that there's anything wrong with that ) or writing on the covers or interior pages. The spine is GORGEOUS on this book, and there are no spine splits. The seller originally sent me a scan, and when I received the book, it was much more striking and eye popping when I was holding it in my hands. I believe this will happen too for the high bidder of this auction. Pics have been included of "before and after" CGC grading, so you can see the comic when it was "raw". The white mark on the "N" in HUMAN" is a piece of fuzz/lint on CGC's scanner…the letter is solid black and problem free. The CGC holder is in perfect condition, with no scratches, marks or damage. This book is nice enough to be an important key piece in any Golden Age collection.
ESTIMATED VALUE: $17,500
